My knowledge of Latin was limited so I failed to get the correct response for FJ. On the plus side, I learn something new every day.
Quite an uneven game. MacKenzie hurt herself repeatedly with bad answers. And Arthur, that DD answer was right there in the photo! It cost you a sure win.
Whiff! Is the sound of 3 players striking out on the nickname for the 4th batter in the lineup.
After 50 years, knowing who was on the cover of that popular magazine finally paid off. That Italian word for upset/jitters was a toughie, which I knew mostly because an old song of that name was used at the end of a 1984 Woody Allen movie, “Broadway Danny Rose,” during the credits. Delightful film.
Funny coincidence: This was one of the old clues on Spoiler Talk last Wednesday:
LIQUID: Merbromin, a mercury-bromine compound, has been marketed as an antiseptic under this name
They used to put that stuff on me and my sibs when we were kids
Mercurochrome, right? Pretty sure we used it too, and I think we used it on our own kids.
If you knew the chemical symbol was Ag, then FJ was a breeze. I knew it, but still lazily said silver, which of course is Hg.
In my defense, “argent” is the French word for silver.
The “More Clues on page 2” link didn’t work, but clicking on numeral 2 did.
yes, Howard, it’s mercurochrome. I never used it on my kids. When I was a kid, they had some cures that were considered highly questionable later on — like mixing boric acid with boiling water to treat pink eye.
They also had some chocolate flavored medicine that actually tasted good. I think it was for sore throats. As an adult, I never could remember the name of it.
Maybe I never knew it — my mom often made up names to get us to take medicine or eat certain foods. Moose steak, for example, was really liver so we didn’t even know most kids didn’t like liver till we went to school.
When I was a kid, there was a milk strike in NYC one time. But my mom somehow came up with some milk (I drank lots of it then) and said Dad had been able to get some. It wasn’t till much later that she confessed it was Carnation powdered milk. She’d figured I wouldn’t drink it if I knew. Used to buy it myself after college when I was sort of poor, but eventually tired of it.
